Hi all

Weigh day and this week I've managed to lose 2lbs yay I'm 8lbs in for winning that telly

Karen: Yes it must have been muscle, just got to keep this momentum going now. Down down down, not up and down.

Die Marchen: You can do it, just stick in there and your see results. Rhetorical ladies rant here: Why do we have to be the ones to lose the weigh to have the kids. Isn't it painfull enough with the labour, the least the men can do is lose the weight for you LOL

Jen: Oh jen congratulations on lsoing 10lbs that marvellous. You should be so proud of yourself. You're absolutely right being derail but sticking out for the rest of the week is sometime more empowering then the weight you've lost. To be able to say "NO" to naughties I do find empowering. It gives you more confidence to carry on - congrats

Lilychemgirl: Good luck with your new regime and your not the only one. One of my friends, boyfriends mum said the exact same thing to her and her 'little bump', in front of the entire family - whoooops. What do you possible say to that. Oh thanks for saying that, I'm blushing now very sweet of you. I really look forward to posting on this board, everyone's so wonderful. I'm sending exercising vibes your way.

Sarah: I know it was so mad, my instructor didn't believe it and I was a one ounce away from 7lbs Yes I do think cakes are good as long as (get ready to drool sarah) it is homemade chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream in the middle and on top with cadbury's chocolate button and flake set on top of the buttercream - I was soooooooo in heaven


Silverfern: That amazing congratulations losing 14lbs. A friend of mine who does WW has lost 2 and a half stone (21lbs) since June, well we went for coffee and she brought her before pics and I was just flabbergasted at the different in her. Just could not believe it and I'm sure your the same. She keeps her pics in her purse as reminder how far she's come. Well done

OK, I have done one resistance training workout That was 2 days ago (I think?) so I need to do another today. I haven't really managed to get any cardio in, apart from pushing the pushchair a bit and jumping on the tramp with the girls. I'll have to do better next week when school is back!

Nice job!

Oh my heck. I just got back from a martial arts class that was two hours long. I am pretty sure the last time I worked out for two hours was about ten years ago. I got my butt kicked, literally and figuratively. I want to throw up. I'm going back on Thursday no matter how much I hurt. Ugggghhhhh!!! In other news, running is fun. I can't go very far, but it's fun. Who knew?

Hi all

Okay I did my zumba dvds at the weekend (never thought I could sweat so much), but according to those scales I gained 2lbs. I just don't believe that, I can see I've lost weight so there's no way. Hope I was just having a heavy day Those scale are going to get a butt kicking next week!!!!!!

Royalgoddessbeth: Oh you majesty you look amazing, you should be real proud of your accomplishment. 46lbs in 6 month, I'm quite jealous, what's your secret?????

Zeebs: What sort of martial arts do you take? Got your butt kick and you're going back lol. I've been thinking of taking something up but I have no idea what. My friend from work is doing a fun run for charity, so she' been in training for a few months and now she loves running. Good on you keep it up. I may not be into running (yet) but I can aerob, salsa and zumba my ass off!!!!
